Developing upon cross-sectional research (Smith, Ntoumanis, & Duda, 2007) supporting the self-concordance model (Sheldon & Elliot, 1999) as a framework for contextual goal striving, the current study investigated the assumptions of the model in relation to season-long goal striving in sport. The study additionally examined the role of coping strategies in the persistence of goal-directed effort. Structural equation modeling analysis with a sample of 97 British athletes indicated that start-of-season autonomous goal motives were linked to midseason effort, which subsequently predicted end-of-season goal attainment. Attainment was positively related to changes in psychological need satisfaction, which, in turn, predicted changes in emotional well-being. In a second model, autonomous and controlled motives positively predicted task- and disengagement-oriented coping strategies, respectively. In turn, these strategies were differentially associated with effort. The findings provide support for contextual adaptations of the self-concordance model and demonstrate the role of coping strategies in the goal striving process.
在横断面研究的基础上（Smith、Ntoumanis 和 Duda，2007），支持自我一致性模型（Sheldon 和 Elliot，1999）作为情境目标追求的框架，本研究调查了该模型在运动中赛季长期目标追求方面的假设。此外，该研究还探讨了应对策略在目标导向努力的持久性中的作用。对 97 名英国运动员的样本进行结构方程模型分析表明，赛季开始时自主目标动机与赛季中期的努力有关，而中期的努力随后预测了赛季结束时的目标达成。达成目标与心理需求满足感的变化呈正相关，而这种满足感又反过来预测了情绪幸福感的变化。在第二个模型中，自主动机和控制动机分别正向预测任务取向和脱离取向的应对策略。反过来，这些策略与努力的关联程度不同。这些发现为自我一致性模型的情境适应性提供了支持，并证明了应对策略在目标追求过程中的作用。
